Thanks everyone! Haha, have barely had any time to get back on the computer, been having so much fun with the doggie, and couldn't believe all the comments that have accumulated!
He's from Michigan, btw. A friend of mine's mother gave him a dog from a local breeder a year ago, and my partner and I were sitting for it for about 4 weeks in February/March, and we loved that dog, so when our friend went home last week, and found that teh breeder had a full brother available, we just went for it. A little unusual, but it all just seemed so karmically right, we went for it!
Barnaby is just fantastic! No problem at all getting him into his crate, and for the first two nights, haven't had a peep out of him during the night except when he had to pee! He's just an incredible little doggie, and I am so excited to have such a great baby!
I appreciate all the nice comments! When I can tear myself way from playing with the puppy, have to start looking at everyone else's babies! :-)
Cheers! Ian and Barnaby :-)))
